Difficulty with subject-verb agreement

http://leedrurydecesarescasting-roomcouch.blogspot.com/2008/07/schools-federal-affirmative-action.html

"Each Government contractor with 50 or more employees and $50,000 or more in government contracts is required to develop a written affirmative action program (AAP) for each of its establishments.

A written affirmative action program helps the contractor identify and analyze potential problems in the participation and utilization of women and minorities in the contractor's workforce.

Linda, I want to see a copy of the schools’ affirmative action plan that its government grants requires. Lee"

subject - "government grants" - plural
verb - "requires" - singular
